Which Designer Would You Like to See Release a Scent?

By this point, most fashion designers have released a fragrance - or twenty - to capitalize on their cachet with the public who could not in a thousand years afford their overpriced clothes and accessories. (It also doesn't hurt that it's a nice source of revenue and brand-building.) But some of the edgier designers of the verge of breaking bigger haven't released fragrances, and a few designers that have only released women's fragrances have yet to release a men's counterpart.

Which designer would you most like to see release a men's scent to match his or her (or their) design aesthetic?

* Designers have released women's or unisex scents, but no designated men's scents.

I'm fascinated by them because they shun the media and their work speak for themselves. They are both very unique designers.

Locally here in Los Angeles, Chrome Hearts , should they decide to create a fragrance; it would be really interesting: "Rock n Roll/Gothic"! Then again, it would be overpriced-- just like all their stuff.

I have to admit ... I don't go all that "in depth" with this hobby ... so I never even heard of more than half the designers you have listed. But being a big guy, I did get a little excited when I saw the name "Pringle" there. I would love to see a men's scent of their "Loaded Baked Potato" chip! Though I don't think that's who you meant.

Anyway, I voted for Etro. I always thought the frags I tried from them were well made ... though a bit on the feminine side for "unisex". I think they would do well creating a dedicated men's scent.

Miu Miu. I think it would be more fun and playful than Prada, like its clothing aesthetic. But, like Prada, I think it would still be interesting and innovative. Aside from that, I'd like to see Ghesquiere for Balenciaga or Mihara Yasuhiro.

I'm not at all excited about the Dsquared scent. Like their fashion, it will probably be like Dolce&gabbana, only trashier.

LOL!!! I thought the same way you did when I saw the "pringle" option...

Re: Which Designer Would You Like to See Release a Scent?

Alexander McQueen
Martin Margiela (loved the Giacobetti Hiris olfactive translation of his design @Hermes)
Bottega Veneta (because it would be maybe a great and artisanally crafted leather scent like their famous criss-cross leather bags!)
Olivier Theyskens (I've always found his retrò-futuristic style interesting)

I guess I should've put "Pringle of Scotland." They're a knitwear maker out of, well, Scotland that has, as of late, been remaking themselves in the Burberry mold, showing collections in Milan and such, going very high end.

I imagine a fragrance from Pringle (of Scotland) is only a matter of time.

John Galliano if they don't go the ususal 100%-focus-group-accpetance route. He seems to talk a lot about pirates. I want a piratey fragrance. Arrgh!Shiver me timbers! A pox on ye gangrene-infested limbs, bucko!

Re: Which Designer Would You Like to See Release a Scent?

I voted for Etro, since I've tested some of their scents (do they make Messe et Minuet?) at Liberty and they seemed reasonably interesting. But I wasn't very impressed with the List Of Designers that we were offered to vote on as a whole. Where are the important designers? Hermès, Dior, YSL?

I can't imagine buying Pringle for Men if it existed. Their sweaters are OK, but that doesn't necessarily mean their scent will be good. Some of the names on the list I've never even heard of.
